Her Lupus Battle

One of the main reasons why Gomez gave into depression and anxiety was because of her journey with Lupus. The singer and actress did not really pay attention to her illness the first time she was diagnosed until she got worse to a point that she had to have a kidney transplant. She announced her diagnosis in 2015 and admitted to having undergone chemotherapy at that time.

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that same year, she revealed that she had no idea how to handle things because she does not know enough about it, more so explain it to the public.

Last September, Gomez finally had the courage to speak up and talk about it after undergoing a kidney transplant, courtesy of television actress and her good friend, Francia Raisa. She posted an inspirational Instagram post where she talked about what happened and even showed her surgery scar.

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.
